We report three patients with a syndrome that fulfilled clinical and laboratory criteria for definite chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) who failed immunosuppressive treatment and eventua...
Objective: Cervical nerve root stimulation (CRS) allows the assessment of conduction in the proximal segments of motor fibers destined to the upper extremities, which are not evaluated by routine nerve conduction stud...
Background: Little is known about long term prognosis and course after immune treatments in chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP). Objective: To study long term outcomes and prognostic factors in pa...
